. Myinvention relatesto incinerators.

The ob gect of my invention is to provide an incinerator having two fire pots, one for garbage, and the other for debris or the like.

A further object of my invention is to construct an incinerator that is simple to construct and assemble, eliminating excess cost.

A still further object of my invention is to provide an incineratorsuch that the garbage may be consumed'by the debris positioned in the lower fire pot.

A still further object of my invention is to provide a gas burner as an assurance for the incineration of the garbage. v

A still further object of my invention-is to provide an incinerator having eparate openings for the garbage and debris fire pots.

A still further object ofmy invention is to provide a simple means for entrapping vermin, including flies, consuming them in the burning process.

These and other objects will hereinafter be more fully explained. r I

Referring to the drawings:

. Fig. 1 is an elevation of the incinerator.

Fig. 2 is a top view of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the incinerator taken on line 3-3 in Fig. 2 looking in the direction of the arrows.

Fig. 4 is a cross section taken along line 44 in Fig. 3 looking in the direction of the arrows. i

Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view of Fig.

3 showing the gasburner and a modified construction for the debris fire pot, said view taken on line 55 in 3 looking in the direction of the arrows.

Fig. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view showing the assembly and supporting means for the debris fire pot.

Fig. 7 is an enlarged sectional view showing the relative position and assembly of the hood, the garbage fire pot, and the shell of the incinerator.

Fig. Sis an enlarged fragmentary elevation ofthe side of the incinerator having the vermin trap hood illustrated, the view being taken from the line 88 in Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.

nism. t v I Fig. 'lO-is a sectional view taken along the line 101.0 in Fig. 8.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 1 is a' ings 5 through the wall thereof to function. as vents for the burning debris. The 'walls of the pot may be solid as shown in Fig. 5. The vent required would then be through the (lump grate. 7

Positioned on'the'lower end thereof is a dump grate 6 pivotally mounted on diametrically positioned bearings 7. The said grate is equipped with a weight 8 on one side thereof, and a lug 9 on the opposite side. The weight to properly position the grate closing the lower end of the fire pot, and the lug is'a stopping means to engage on theedge of the opening to insureiproper position for retaining the contents therein, and being car ried by the pivots the grate will rock as means for dumping the ash accumulation to the storage space as at A shown in Fig. 3. I

Resting on the fire pot is a lining 9 having outwardly extending flanges as at B as means for spacing the lining fromthe shell I as at C. Thesaid lining extending upward The said fire pot has an annular flange as at D which is adapted to engage over the upper end of the shell as hanging means therefor. The. lower end of the pot is equipped with a dump grate 8, the same as. that of the debris fire pot as means for discharging'the ash accu- Fig. 9 is aninside View of the trap mechamulation into the dbris fire pot and from thence to the storage A. T

Positioned on the top of the incinerator is i a hood 12 being preferably made of cast iron and having an annular flange and bearing'E to fit snugly on the D member of the garbage fire t 10. The said hood being frusto-conical as an annular flange 13 on the upper end thereof to receive a pipe 14: as smoke conveying means. Positioned in the hood is a door 15 pivotally'. attached as at 16 and adapted to swing upward in the direction of the arrows.

Positioned in the side of the incinerator between the fire pots is a door l6 hingedly connected to one side as at17, and having a suitable catch as a fasteningimeans when closed. Concentrically positioned therein is Y low the lower edge of said openings, and

' Asa controlling means for the burner I have being spaced therefrom asshown in Fig; 10 permitting flies and the like to enter the openings in their upward travel during times when the incinerator is being filled, and void of fire. V

Positioned on the inside of the shell-and opposite the hood is a grating 21 rigidly attached, the said grating extendingover the opening functioning as a retarder for burning embers from the dbris. As a means" to prevent flies from entering the pipe and passing outward therethrough I have placed a screen 22 over the pipe opening which is se-. curely fastened to the hood,'the said screen also functioning as aspark retarder, should the mechanism beplaced out of doors and have no chimney connection. other than a short piece of pipe. It will be understood when the fire is started the vermin are con sumed with the dbris. The mechanism. therefor functions as a fly trap in combination with its garbage and dbris burning feature. v

, When the garbage fire pot has been well filled and there being no dbris'as a kindlingelement to burn the garbage, or as an assistant with the dbris I have provided a gas burner 23 to engage at t-he lower end of the garbage firepot, which when set in action tends to dry and gradually, burn thevcontents.
